Description

I often need to add few lines to the file at the end, that would be handy to have a cli switch to open a file and automatically scroll down to the end and put cursor at the last character in the file as well. Is this already possible? Can this be a feature otherwise?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing command-line options and how micro positions the cursor when opening a file; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. The work is done when a documented CLI switch opens the file at its end with the cursor on the last character, or the project confirms that this is already supported.
